Strong's Lexicon chibbel: To destroy, to ruin, to corrupt Original Word: חִבֵּל Word Origin: Derived from the root חָבַל (chabal), which means "to bind" or "to pledge." Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek equivalent often used in the Septuagint for similar concepts of destruction or corruption is φθείρω (phtheiro), Strong's Greek #5351, which also means to corrupt or destroy. Usage: The Hebrew verb "chibbel" primarily conveys the idea of destruction or ruin. It is used in contexts where something is being damaged, corrupted, or brought to a state of disrepair. The term can also imply moral or spiritual corruption, indicating a deviation from a state of purity or integrity. Cultural and Historical Background: In ancient Hebrew culture, the concept of destruction was often tied to divine judgment or the consequences of moral failure. The Israelites understood that their covenant relationship with God required adherence to His laws, and deviation from these laws could lead to destruction, both physically and spiritually. The use of "chibbel" in the Hebrew Bible often reflects this understanding, emphasizing the serious consequences of turning away from God's commandments.
